Looking to offload my stuff. I haven't had time to use it in the last 4years. It's been sitting in the basement so I'd recommend a thorough cleaning. Some flexibility in price. Ideally I want someone to take it all but I'd be willing to split large chunks out if needed. Asking $1500, OBO...

I've had this problem with anything over OG of 1.060. I haven't found a solution, but i was told repeatedly and with conviction that it was due to the coarse LHBS crush. I went out and picked up a mill and everything. (I hope that solves some of the problems, but i remain skeptical) The other...

Same here, so far the only worse beer related TV show I've watched was Barley Brew Rebellions. (About Brew Rebellion)

My Pale Ale recipe is only hopped at 10min and Whirlpool. All of the bitterness/IBU comes from the 10min addition. http://www.thebrewerscut.com/recipes/dorado-xpa-american-pale-ale/

No worries. Azacca aside, I've found Great Lakes Hops has the best selection of plants/rhizomes.

Since Azacca is Registered with the patent and trademark office, it's unlikely you'll find anyone selling them. It was bred specifically by three hop growers as part of the ADHA. Same reason you won't find Citra, Jayrrylo, Pekko, Summit, EL Dorado, etc. rhizomes, they're all registered or...

It doesn't, it just sits in the keyholes. It doesn't seem very sturdy but I have yet to have it cause an issue. (I've got 5 brews under the connect). I remove it before cleaning as well. Some People on the GF Facebook group use some Velcro to help hold it in place. Glad everyone is receiving...

I had some M43 a few weeks ago when I was in A2 (Go Blue!). It was good, but not on the same level as the big guys (Treehouse, etc).

Yes, pH of 5.3 using the American Lager profile in bru'n water.

Right or wrong, i used the american lager profile in bru'n water. It turned out really good. It didn't ferment down quite as low as i would of expected (1.015), so there was a tad bit of residual sweetness. The funny part is, I brewed this specifically for the diaper party, expecting people...

Thanks for the feedback guys! Glad I wasn't too far off. It's happily bubbling away right now. I think i'll be sticking to RO water for future uses. The spring water was considerably more expensive ($9.30 vs $3.40 for 10g) and 1 of 4 jugs had a slight plastic off flavor. (Luckily, it was the...

Just as an update. OG 1.052 as expected Pitched 1pack WLP036 at 58F (damn CFC was doing work) Basement temp rose to 63F ambient.

I brewed a NE Style IPA and single hopped it with Loral. Base recipe was Braufessor's NE Style IPA. I subbed in loral in the following locations: 3oz FO 3oz Whirlpool for 30min 3oz Dryhop for 6days 3oz Dryhop for 3days Fermented with 1272. It was solid beer, but had a chalky bitterness on...

Thanks for the response :mug: I ran out of time and went with my original post. I'm sparging now, i'll report back on how it goes. I also decided only to pitch one yeast pack, i'll save the other for another attempt.

I've recently had a hankering for a Dunkel, but I don't have a good place to ferment at that temperature. I was turned onto a Altbier, and after much research here is where I settled. I'll likely still lager for 4-6 weeks in my fridge. Any input, specifically on the water profile? I think the...
